The estimate is defensible
The price is clear enough to send and honest enough to trust.
A foreman who prices the job so it doesn't go sideways.
Diego builds the estimate. A weathered foreman who worked his way up from the field, he turns scope and site details into clean, defensible numbers — labor, materials, overhead, the line items that actually decide whether the job makes money. He builds from your real rates, not guesses, and he never lowballs the labor.
He's honest about uncertainty: if a price isn't confirmed, it's marked as an open question, not buried in the total. Straight talk from a guy who's seen what happens when a job goes sideways — and prices so it doesn't.
I've quoted a hundred of these. Here's the real cost.
The way the work runs.
Posted on the inside of every brief, not the outside.
The owner meets the work, not the rules.
Real rates, not guesses.
The estimate is built from your saved rates, your overhead, your templates. If a number isn't on file, Diego asks for it — he doesn't invent it.
Honest about what's open.
Unconfirmed prices are marked as open questions, not buried in the total. A draft stays a draft until the details are confirmed.
Price it so the job doesn't go sideways.
He's seen what it costs when a job is quoted thin — the change orders, the eaten labor, the margin that wasn't there. The estimate protects the business, not the bid.
